Modify and construct two- and three-dimensional models by placing the graphical elements from your designs in another application, such as 3D CAD or paper. Even if you’ve never tried them before, you’ll be able to use AutoCAD’s import tools to import your design, edit it, and send it back to AutoCAD, and AutoCAD’s change tools to automatically apply changes to your CAD drawings. In addition, you can use AutoCAD’s augmented reality (AR) tools to place imported objects in other applications.Import items from design sources:Sync your designs across any device. Copy or link CAD drawings to any mobile device to use AutoCAD anywhere. Import layers from a PDF or other files that you’ve previously exported to AutoCAD. (video: 2:15 min.)Author and publish your designs:With new tools for creating publication-ready drawings for print, PDF, web, video, and the Microsoft Surface devices, you can create 2D drawings that are ready for print, tablet, and mobile devices. In addition, you can quickly create publication-ready drawings for the Microsoft Surface devices and take advantage of the real-time tracking functionality.

You can navigate and interact with your 3D models as you would with a 2D drawing, without losing the context of the project.When you work with your 3D models, you can toggle between an annotative view and a perspective view, to see the modeling hierarchy and annotations in their original view.When you select an object, you can choose from a list of tools to help you with your next action, such as moving or rotating it.You can select blocks, segments, and points.You can set grips to place objects with greater precision.You can more easily move, rotate, copy, and paste objects with Copy and Paste 3D. (video: 3:00 min.)Compatible with the Microsoft Surface devices:When you work with the Microsoft Surface devices, you can use them as a drawing pad, as a mouse, or as a pen and stylus. You can access the screen and Windows applications, and control the Surface screen through your mouse 2be273e24d
